“They opened the bay doors, exited, and responded to the call,” said Trooper Kelly Grant of the Connecticut State Police. “On the return, they found the body of a deceased female laying in front of the bay.”

Her family and friends question that story. They are all retracing her steps.

“You’re not gonna stop in front of the police station,” said Jerrin Cherian, a family friend. “That’s the last place a UConn student is going to sit.”

“We know she was studying in the library and then we know that she spoke to her cousin and she Snapchatted at 12:30,” said Chemarappally. “So between that time – a half an hour – what happened? There’s a huge gap.”

As the investigation continues, her family is trying to find comfort in the memory of her smile, and the lives she touched through her church and her work with the Special Olympics. They also hope that someday they’ll know what happened.

“The only thing I want to know now is the truth,” said Chemarappally. “The truth maybe ugly, but I don’t care. I just want to know the truth because now they’re making different stories.”

A vigil will be held for her on campus on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Fairfield Way on the Storrs campus.

The wake for Jeffny Pally will be held Wednesday from 6-9pm at St. Timothy’s Church at 1116 North Main Street in West Hartford. The funeral will be held Thursday at 10am at St. Timothy’s Church.

There are grief counselors available on campus, and not just for students, either, but think of the firefighters who came back from that emergency call to find that one of their vehicles had accidentally hit a student.
